Chapter 132: Before Leaving (1)
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was half of July, and the relief grain transferred from Nanjing had finally arrived. Each feudal king's fief can get 100,000 stones, which may be life-saving food for King Ning. But for Zhu Di, it is dispensable, because the millet in the field has been harvested. According to the statistics of the grain official, about 250,000 stones were collected, and later Zhu Di also sent people to send 50,000 stones to each of the surrounding brothers.
I heard that when the people of Beiping collected millet seeds, they all burst into tears, and they were all grateful to Zhu Di. Because Zhu Di not only gave them a harvest, but also exempted them from taxes this year, and all the harvested millet went into his own granary. If you tighten your food and clothing, you should be able to survive this dry year.
Originally, the millet was harvested twice a year, but now there is only a small half of water left in the two dams, and if you plant another crop, it is estimated that there will be no harvest. Therefore, the people are planting some vegetables with a short growth cycle in the field, and if they only eat millet seeds, their bodies may not be able to stand it.
Those outsiders who fled over were very envious of the prince Zhu Di in Beiping. He not only saved the city of Beiping from becoming a disaster area under the drought, but also gave all the victims regular food every day, although it was only one meal, but it allowed tens of thousands of victims to survive.
After the grain was harvested, the people no longer rushed to grab water, so Zhu Neng was able to go home. This cargo has not been home for three months, stationed on the dam, sleeping in the open air, and has grown a lot of beard.
Originally, I was going to admit my wife's mistake when I went home, after all, three months have passed, and my wife's anger should have subsided. As a result, as soon as he returned home, his wife Liu hugged Zhu Neng and cried bitterly, scolding him for being conscienceless, so close to home, and not going home for three months.
Liu also said that if you fall in love with a girl in a certain building, marry her, she is not a stingy person. The Zhu family is so big, it can still accommodate one person.
Zhu Neng was stunned for a long time, if it wasn't for Zhu Yong pushing him, he wouldn't know how to enter the house. So after an old couple separated for three months, they enjoyed the clouds and rain, and Zhu Neng swore that he would never go to the land of fireworks again in the future, and would be good to the Liu family for a lifetime.
When Hu Ye listened to Zhu Yong tell his father's story, he suddenly felt that Zhu Neng, the second goods, was still affectionate and righteous, and then patted Zhu Yong on the shoulder. "Your father will have great achievements in the future."
Zhu Yong admired Hu Ye's five-body throw, and inadvertently taught him a little trick that time, but this thing secretly went to Zuiyue Tower to try it, causing the girl to scold the little pervert. Since then, he has been respectful to Hu Ye, and he will never dismantle Hu Ye's stage again, which directly made Liu Pu depressed for a long time.
Zhu Gaoxu's violent temperament has been much more restrained, and he listens to Hu Ye tell the story of Journey to the West every day. At first, he was very yearning for Sun Wukong's unruliness, but later he was slowly moved by Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's master-apprentice relationship. I also love learning more. In the past, he didn't listen to classes, but now every day he counts him as the first to enter the school, and the schoolwork he completes is the most serious. Hu Ye thinks that if he can let this teenager with rebellious genes know his way back. I really have immeasurable merit.
Xianning and An Cheng are already inseparable from Hu Ye, and if they don't listen to Hu Ye's stories every day, they can't sleep at night.
Zhu Gaoxi's health is much better, and he can do a lot of things that he couldn't do before. The complexion is a lot more vigorous. Every time Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaoxi coaxing with this group of children and frolicking with Hu Ye, he was very happy. Xu Miaoyin next to her was lying on Zhu Di's shoulder crying, happy for her son, with tears of happiness.
Zhu Gaochi is no longer as fat as before, and the amount of food is not as big as before, in addition to taking medicine according to the prescription given by Lou Ying every day, he will also dance with Zheng Erwu twice under Zhu Di's arrangement.
Yingxue can't do without Hu Ye anymore, pestering Hu Ye all day long, asking him to reveal the content of tomorrow's story, so that he can show off with Xianning and them. But every time it was Hu Ye's eyes, he quickly distanced himself from her, this is Yanwang's Mansion, and Zhu Di's eyes can look at it.
Li Yangming is very dedicated and has recorded the stories that Hu Ye tells every day, and they are about to be written into a book. He also told Hu Ye that he was going to bind this story into a book and then publish it, and the author was naturally Hu Ye.
However, Hu Ye refused on the grounds that the story was incomplete, he had already stolen Wu Chengen's story, and it would be a bit too unkind if the story was also published.
The story is incomplete, so naturally it is necessary to complete it, so today Hu Ye unexpectedly called Yingxue over, and told Yingxue the finale of Journey to the West tomorrow, and asked her to tell you the story tomorrow.
Yingxue was happy at first, but she felt more and more that something was wrong, and as soon as she finished listening to Hu Ye, she grabbed Hu Ye's arm, "Brother Hu Ye, are you hiding something from me, hurry up and tell me, otherwise I won't let you go." ”
Before Hu Ye could answer, Li Yangming spoke, "Okay, let's go here for today's class, I have something to announce." ”
All the little dolls cheered up and listened attentively.
"From tomorrow, Hu Ye will not be in class with you, he will go to Nanjing to participate in the imperial examination." Li Yangming said.
"Why, didn't the imperial examination start in mid-August? There's still a month, so why do you have to leave tomorrow. "Xianning is gone, the story is listening to it energetically, how can you let Hu Ye leave like this, can't it be a few days late.
An Cheng, who has always been very quiet, even made a fuss this time, "Master, can you let Hu Ye stay for a few more days, we don't listen to his stories, and we can't sleep at night." ”
Yingxue finally knew that something was wrong, it turned out that Hu Ye told her the ending because he wouldn't talk about it tomorrow. How capable is she, she directly hugged Hu Ye's waist and said with a crying voice, "Brother Hu Ye, I don't want you to go, don't you participate in the imperial examination, okay, you can stay with us." ”
Yingxue cried while wiping her tears on Hu Ye's back, and glanced at Zhang Hui and Zhang Hui, and the two also said that they wanted Hu Ye to stay.
Zhu Yong and Liu Pu also persuaded each other, saying that the future is long, why do you need to participate in the imperial examination at the age of twelve, and go again next year, isn't it easier to get in.
Xianning is a ghost elf, seeing Yingxue hugging Hu Ye's waist, she rushed up and hugged Hu Ye's neck, Hu Ye only felt a burst of fragrance, not pushing, not pushing, this is the county lord, but he will become a princess in the future.
"Hu Ye, I order you not to go, otherwise I will ask my father to break your legs." Xianning also said with a crying voice.
Zhu Di is here, but he is not here to break Hu Ye's legs, he is here to save Hu Ye.
"Nonsense! Monkey business! Get out of the way! ”
Zhu Di came to the primary school hall and shouted loudly. followed by Xu Miaoyin, Zhu Gaochi and others.
His words worked very well, Xianning and Yingxue quickly let go of Hu Ye and stood behind very aggrieved.
"Father, I beg you to let Hu Ye stay, he is still young, and there will be time to go to the imperial examination in the future, so why rush for a while." An Cheng came to Zhu Di's side, grabbed Zhu Di's arm, and said coquettishly.
Zhu Di stretched out his hand and stroked An Cheng's head, this child and Zhu Gaoxi were his two most beloved ones. She has never begged herself for anything, but she didn't expect this child to come to beg herself for Hu Ye, could it be that Hu Ye has such a great influence on her own children.
"Yes, father, Brother Hu Ye is very good to us, his story is very good, you just let him stay, we promise to study hard and never mess around again." Zhu Gaoxi also stood up at this time and begged Zhu Di to keep Hu Ye.
But seeing that Zhu Di didn't react, he went to pull Xu Miaoyin's hand again, looked at Xu Miaoyin with big eyes, and hoped that his mother would say something to Zhu Di.
Seeing that his two most well-behaved children were going to leave Hu Ye behind, the naughty Xianning cried into tears, and even Zhu Gaoxu, who was the most difficult to serve, looked like he wanted to speak, and Zhu Di felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.
Hu Ye didn't want to go to Nanjing, but Zhu Baba's holy decree had already come down, and Zhu Di also agreed, and he couldn't go if he didn't want to. Now even if Zhu Di wants to repent, it's too late, do you want him to write to his father and emperor, saying that his children are reluctant, so let Hu Ye not go to the imperial examination?
"Okay, don't mess around, Hu Ye went to Nanjing for the imperial examination this time, it is your imperial grandfather's intention, not for me to call the shots. Besides, it's not like he's not coming back, why are you crying? Zhu Di said loudly.
"It's all scattered for me, this is the palace, what kind of system is crying and crying." Zhu Di decided to cut through the mess quickly, Hu Ye had to spy on him when he went, and he couldn't ruin his plan just because a few children were reluctant.
"Miaoyin, Gao Chi, you can accompany the child, I have something to talk about with Hu Ye." Zhu Di said to Xu Miaoyin, and then said to Hu Ye, "Hu Ye, you come to the inner hall with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Hu Ye was very helpless, it seemed that this trip to Nanjing was inevitable, turned around and glanced at Yingxue, and found that her eyes were still full of tears, so he glanced at her and asked them to go back to Zhangfu first. Then Hu Ye followed Zhu Di's footsteps and walked to the inner hall of the palace.
Hu Ye has been here a few times, but this time he feels a little sad, maybe this is the last time he comes. Next time I come, this may not be the Yanwang Mansion, and it may have become a palace by then, no, it should be called the Forbidden City.
Hu Ye knew that if he went this time, whether he was in the middle or not, he might not be able to return to Beiping in the past few years. If you want to see those people outside again, it is estimated that you will have to wait until Zhu Di becomes the emperor, and there will inevitably be some emotion in your heart.
"Hu Ye, how sure are you now?" As soon as he entered the inner hall, Zhu Di asked straight to the point.
"Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents, and I am just a half-student, so I really dare not say anything." Hu Ye said truthfully.
"Don't be discouraged, just take the test with your heart, I think, even if you don't pass the test, my father will reuse it for you. But there are a few things you must not forget. Zhu Di comforted Hu Ye, but his tone then carried a hint of warning.
"Your Highness, please speak, the grass people listen." Hu Ye replied respectfully. (To be continued......)
